The Utah State Legislature moved swiftly and unanimously passed a resolution supporting Ukraine and urging action against Russia for invading the country.
House Concurrent Resolution 21 declares that Utah stands with the people of Ukraine and urges the United States government to take steps to punish Russia and offer humanitarian relief to the Ukranian people.
"It's the idea that together we are many but we will not be defeated," he said, translating his own remarks to the House. "Why does it matter that Utah take a position on this? I think it goes back to that same chant. Together, we are many. And so I am heartened by my colleagues here that have given support to Ukraine, our state here, our president, leaders of our country and the international community to step out and stand up for this country.
Some European nations have cut off energy agreements with Russia. Senate President J. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, questioned if Utah could ship some resources overseas. "We have allies, we shouldn’t force Europe to be dependent on Russia. And we need to have an energy policy that has excess natural gas to get it to Germany," he added.
